Executives and directors sold Nvidia shares worth over $1 billion in 2025, cashing in on a steep year-to-date rally. The stock climbed more than 52% this year, closing at $190 in the last trading session of December. Despite the gains, no insider purchases occurred, while 15 insiders reported selling throughout the year.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sold multiple blocks of Nvidia shares under pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plans throughout the year. In July, Huang sold over 205,000 shares for about $36 million, according to regulatory disclosures. He continued selling in September and October, disposing of more than 225,000 shares each time.
Each transaction followed an automated plan, as required by SEC regulations for insider stock activity. In September, Huang’s sales totaled nearly $40 million, followed by similar totals in the following months. These consistent disposals added up to hundreds of millions in value by the year’s end.
Filings revealed no purchases by Huang during 2025, aligning with the broader trend among other executives. His actions represent the largest individual insider selling activity within the company in 2025. Each transaction was publicly disclosed through Form 4 filings, fulfilling federal transparency requirements.
Board member Harvey Jones sold about 250,000 Nvidia shares in September, earning close to $44 million. His transaction occurred during a period of strong share price performance in the third quarter. He used a similar pre-scheduled trading plan, as documented in public filings.
Mark Stevens, also a director, sold over 220,000 shares toward the year’s end, totaling around $40 million. These sales occurred in Q4 and were registered within the SEC’s insider trading framework. Other members, including the principal accounting officer, also disclosed sales during December.
According to MarketBeat, total insider sales reached $1.7 billion for the year ending December 29. Across all transactions, insiders held approximately 4.17% of Nvidia shares by the end of the year. The pattern continued without any disclosed buying activity from company insiders.
Throughout 2025, not a single Nvidia insider reported buying company shares on the open market. The year saw only sales, with every transaction filed under regulatory standards for insider activity. This trend stood out as Nvidia shares continued to rise during earnings and product cycles.
MarketBeat data confirms 15 insiders sold Nvidia shares across multiple periods in 2025. The sales aligned with Nvidia’s growing market cap, driven by demand for its advanced GPU products. Yet, the lack of buying may draw attention from analysts and retail shareholders alike.
All insider transactions took place under Rule 10b5-1 plans, which are set months in advance. These pre-arranged trades are designed to avoid concerns of trading on non-public information. However, the scale of sales across leadership raised questions in financial reporting circles.
Nvidia shares rallied 52% year-to-date, reaching $190 by December 29’s market close. The gains reflected strong performance in the company’s core data center and GPU segments. This run pushed Nvidia’s market capitalization above $4 trillion, one of the highest in tech.
The share price growth helped drive up the value of insider sales across all levels. Executives used this momentum to exercise stock options and liquidate positions. Disclosures show insiders acted within approved timelines and federal compliance.
The market continued to track Nvidia shares closely through the final quarter of 2025. Investor sentiment remains linked to revenue growth and product announcements. As of December 29, no new insider trades were filed after the last reported transactions.
